About Us

Atlas Unbound creates immersive experiences that inspire the discovery of hidden lands and plunge participants into the wilderness, learning and innovating from the wisdom of nature. We catalyze transformative conversations and fresh perspectives relating to systems change, leadership models and regenerative cultures. Unfolding the planet has a lot to do with unraveling yourself too, embracing new paradigms and connecting to global challenges through embodied experiences.

Atlas Unbound was founded by Siobhan Brewster and Alexa Firmenich.

Siobhan Brewster has previously used an anthropology major, a stint in the fashion industry and five years in international investment banking as her ticket to traversing the world on various adventures. Scottish by birth, her prior chapters have included London, Bali, New York and most recently, four years in Mexico City.

Alexa Firmenich is passionate about designing deep regenerative systems change through the power of transformative experiences and reconnecting with the wild. Her work as a conservation leader, communicator and photographer has taken her around the world. She lives to embrace the thrill of the unknown.

What they say about us...

What Atlas Unbound has created is nothing short of remarkable. In our crazy, disconnected and repetitive world, a trip into the unknown exploring cultures, communities and creatures provided me with a renewed sense of purpose and a richer perspective on our place in the world. With new friends gained, knowledge shared and a life time supply of stories to tell, this is a winning combination. I would do it again in an instant.

One of the most formative, powerful, genuine and inspiring experiences of my life.

— Frank walsh / Roar la

The journey left me feeling breathless and inspired; it felt like I took ten days off instead of a weekend and was left energized for weeks. Reminiscent of a Tarantino film set amongst Mayan temples, the places we visited were so secretly marvelous and the group was filled without exception with such wonderful people that surely will become part of my community.

If you want to discover the magnificent Barrancas, Atlas Unbound is the right way to do it. Do not miss this opportunity if you’re lucky enough to get a seat there.

I loved every step of the journey. Being immersed in the wonders of nature. Personal reflection. Mindfulness. Kindness. Understanding. Mind-expanding conversations with remarkable people from all over the world. Atlas Unbound is that and so much more.

"Our experiences are not luxurious in the 'traditional' sense of the word. In each journey, we go camping, we make bonfires, we return back to basics... We believe that such elements of adventure and reconnection are essential for experiencing a more raw planet.”

“We believe that true luxury lies in uncovering new sources of wonder and awe, of humility and perspective, that can only come from being back in the wild."

“The defining term for an Atlas Unbound journey is connection. For these two entrepreneurs, the new luxury is defined by authenticity, new perspectives and a positive social impact. During journeys that range from three to five days, you’ll find CEOs and artists rubbing shoulders in perfect harmony”.

"If you’ve recently opened up your guide books or scoured your friends’ recommendations on where to travel in Mexico, chances are there’s a few places you’ve noted down. Maybe it’s the growing infamy of bohemian-chic Tulum, the sprawling mezcal fields of colonial Oaxaca or the desolate surf beaches of Puerto Escondido. All are noteworthy destinations, and could satisfyingly soak up your precious time off. But what if you were to hear of another way to discover Mexico – one which stimulates the senses, immerses you in lands of insurmountable beauty, takes you far off the beaten track, and connects you with like-minded explorers as Mexico’s mysteries reveal themselves day by day?"

"Atlas Unbound is an ethical travel company that aims to kick its clients out of their ‘comfort zones’ – and into a world of life changing adventure and expansive possibility. It isn’t your typical travel company – they create immersive experiences focused on a series of journeys deep into nature and her hidden realms. Alexa and Siobhan curate and lead the groups themselves, as they appreciate how important the dynamics are in intimate groups of ten to fourteen people. These women encourage people to join as solo travellers or with friends, with the guarantee that they’ll be roaming wild lands with a group of likeminded, passionate individuals".

"Between mountains, beaches and lakes, there are certain places that open up our minds as soon as we arrive. These are the kinds of destinations that travellers can explore with Atlas Unbound, a Mexico City-based company that offers unique journeys to five of the most magnificent corners of our continent: Chiapas, Chihuahua’s Copper Canyon, Queretaro’s Sierra Gorda, Baja California and Guatemala. With sustainability and the integration of local communities as priorities, the trips include the presence of local experts who help create a deep experience, filled with knowledge and adventure".
